History
Clark's Bus Service was formed in 1976 when couple Yvonne and Reg Clark started a local school bus service in Logan City. In 1987, Clark's Bus Service purchased Greenline Bus Service in an effort to expand services to Brisbane City.[4] In September 1995, Rochedale Bus Service was purchased. In 2003, it was rebranded as Clarks Logan City Bus Service.
Fleet
As of April 2016, the fleet consists of 124 highly standardised vehicles.[3] These consist mostly of the Volvo B12BLE chassis mounted with a VST body manufactured by Bustech.[5][6]
In July 2017, Clarks Logan City Bus Service launched the new 567 route, servicing between the suburbs of Holmview and Beenleigh.[7] This route is served by the first operational Hino Poncho outside Japan.[8][9]
